New Music Video: Kanye West, “Flashing Lights”

Posted by Mike "Evorgleb" Belgrove

Does Kanye live up to the expectations we set for him with this video?

I’m gonna go ahead and say it, Kanye makes the best videos in hip hop today. His videos are always outside the box and not just some video hoes models dancing in front of a green screen. This “Flashing Lights” video is gonna get mixed feelings. Me? I’m feeling it. I can appreciate anything that isn’t more of the norm.

I seen this on MTV Jams and I was completely baffeled. 1st MTV showed it unedited (with cursing) in the middle of the day, 2 I don’t understand the video at all and three the whole song isn’t played. Anyone know why?

Im not a big fan of it but i see where he’s going with it. you gotta listen to the hook

“..but i never thought that you would take it this far, what do i know…”

i think the video is him cheating on his girl, or forgets about her

(”I know its been a while sweetheart, we hardly talk ,i’ve been doing my thing, I know it was foul baby but lately you been all on my brain..”)

and she catches him. and this is what happens.

he took it in a different direction. and this from what im hearing is not the entire video. the whole this was suppose to premire on 106&park.

I figured they were gonna with a ‘make up your own ending’ Sopranos style and that’s why it stops like that.

I just give kanye props for now doing the same types of videos as everyone else.

as for me dressing like him Dos, you wouldn’t catch me with some white plastic frames even on halloween.
